SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 613,063, dated October25, 1898.

Application filed November 19, 1896. Serial No. 612 ,663. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILHELM FISCHER, master molder, residing atSebaldsbriick, near Bremen, in the German Empire, have invented anImproved Case for Penholders, Pencils, and Similar Articles, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a case for holding penholders, pencils, andsimilar articles, the simplicity and practical arrangement of whichoffers great advantages over thosein present use.

In order that my invention may be better understood, I will now proceedto describe the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawingsand to the letters marked thereon.

Figure 1 is a plan of, the case when open. Fig. 2 shows a sectionalview, on a reduced scale, on the line was of Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 shows asectional view on the line y y of Fig. 2.

In a trough-shaped hollow space a of the case is pivoted a roller 0,having several longitudinal grooves 19 on the periphery. One end of theroller 0 extends through the end of the case and is connected with aknob d for the rotation of the roller. The longitudinal grooves I) servefor the reception of the writing utensils to be kept in the casesuch aspenholders, pencils, &c.and as the grooved roller is located bypreference in a circular box, Fig. 8, the surrounding wall of the boxkeeps the articles from falling out as the roller revolves and dispenseswith other means'for holding the articles in place. In order tofacilitate the removal of said utensils from the grooves b of the roller0 and from the case, the roller has a number of recesses or notches d,which correspond to the recesses f arranged in the wall e over the case.

For the purpose of facilitating the easy opening of the case the cover gis provided with a spring and held in locked position by the usualspring-catch or look. A suitable locking device is shown in the holder hand catch h, Fig. 3.

What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-

In a pencil-holding device, a box or case provided with a hollow spacea, in combination with a rotating roller 0 pivoted therein, and providedwith the longitudinal grooves b and the notches d and the recesses finthe wall of the case, arranged to correspond with the notches d of theroller, substantially as described.
